Catch can...junk?
 
I don't want to take up alot of room with a catch can setup, what do ya think of this thing...(not sure why you need a filter, but I could always take it out, it seems like it would restrict the flow) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6763

i don't know much about catch cans. i just put a small valve cover breather filter and i installed a new pcv valve. i realy would'nt bother with one of those unless i have a 400hp beast.

The only reason I'm messing with it is becuase I get a little bit of oil smell after I boost hard but I can't figure out where it's coming from...I have NO smoke from the exhaust...I've checked that charge pipes and the downpipe too...nothing. This is the only guess I have left.

tool king? how about a sqaure can like an olive oil can, attach 2 homedepot barbed fittings to the top and buy some 3/8th" rubber hose at the auto parts and a four pack of small clamps! i love the autoparts store :-* paint the can and fittings flat black, those things can't cost more than $8.00. if you don't have an olive oil can, dollar stores sell some cheap oilive oil that come in nice sized cans. build it, paint it flat (JDM) black and zip tie it down.
pat. pend.
